Photos of Duanzhou Ancient City Wall

The Duanzhou Ancient City Wall is located in the area of Songcheng Road in Zhaoqing City and was built in the Song Dynasty. It is rectangular in shape and its commanding height is Piyun Tower in the north of the city. It is the only remaining complete ancient city wall in Guangdong and a landmark building in the cultural city of Zhaoqing. The ancient city wall has been repaired many times in the past thousand years, and there are many kinds of brick walls. It is a living "brick museum". It's not majestic, but it has its own unique flavor. Generally, go up to the tower from the north gate "chaotian", and you will see the residents and houses on the tower. The house is built directly on the ancient city wall, and the city wall is like the fence of the residents' homes. Sometimes, residents can also be seen walking their dogs. Think about it, in the past, officers and soldiers were stationed on the city wall outside the gate of the enemy, and now such a picture of the market is really a very interesting scene. The four corners of the original city wall had turrets, all of which were later destroyed. Now the more magnificent is the reconstructed Piyun Tower. Go west along Songcheng Road, turn left at the crossroads and turn to Qingfengtan. There is a "Song Dynasty Ancient City Wall" stone tablet in the city wall. Entering from the iron gate next to it, you can go up to the city tower to see the Piyun Tower. In fact, there are quite a few ancient city walls in China, but compared with the better developed ancient city walls that charge fees, the ancient city walls in Zhaoqing still have their own small feeling and taste. It's free and accessible. Looking back at the ancient city wall, one side of the wall is no different from any city, it looks like a city. But separated by a wall, there is a circle of leisure and contentment.
